Flying Cafe Another Sky [Imagining Inspiration from 3 Themes]

I took on the fantasy theme challenge!
It's about 1,700 characters long.
Thank you for reading.🙇

The flying cafe "Another Sky" is as quiet as a graveyard again today.

Leila, the owner, was holding her head in her hands.

The only customers who come are a crow and a sparrow who order free-refill coffee and lounge around writing things.

"Hey, if I don't do something, this place is going to go under..."
The coffee beans I buy are getting a bit more expensive... and this month, I'm really scraping by...
My stepmother told me, 'I'll leave the shop to you! You can manage it!' and I got all excited, but...
For starters, since we're flying, people on the ground can't just drop by...
Ugh..."

Then the crow said.

"If you want customers to come, you need to do some sales work.
Since we're flying, why don't you try dropping flyers from the sky?"

"I tried dropping flyers, I did!
Then I got yelled at for littering!!
Oh man, I guess I have no choice but to hand them out manually..."

Then the sparrow said next.

"Why don't you go to the ball this weekend and hand them out to everyone?
It seems like all the young ladies in town are invited to help the country's prince choose a bride.
Wait, aren't you going, Leila??"

"Huh??"
What is that event!?
I didn't know about it!
...Ah! Maybe my stepmother forgot.
I told her to forward my mail here..."

As expected, her stepmother had forgotten to give the invitation to Leila.

'Sorry! Please forgive me with this♡'

Along with that message, she gave her one "Wizard Service Voucher."

"Alright, with this, I'll have them make me a beautiful dress and some flyers for business!"

Leila immediately summoned a wizard and had them print a decent dress and 1,000 mysterious tickets called "Rainbow-Colored Tickets (Cafe Another Sky Discount Coupons)" that shimmered in seven colors when held up to the light and changed color depending on the angle.

The wizard warns the happy Leila.

"The rainbow tickets won't disappear, but the dress will return to your original clothes after midnight, so be careful."

"Leave it to me!!" Leila said, giving a thumbs up, and headed to the ball in high spirits.

Leila actively promoted her business by handing out rainbow-colored tickets to the women who were desperately trying to take photos for social media.

The women participating were thrilled by the sparkling rainbow-colored tickets and spread the word on social media with the hashtags
#CafeAnotherSky
#RainbowTicket
#FlyingCafe
and so on.

Meanwhile, the prince, who was feeling exhausted after being introduced to so many women, caught sight of Leila walking around handing out the rainbow tickets.

That girl... she hasn't looked at me even once...
　……I feel like I could have a normal conversation with her.

The prince invited Leila to ride the Ferris wheel.

Once they boarded the Ferris wheel, Leila handed the prince a rainbow ticket and passionately talked about how relaxing the Flying Cafe Another Sky was, how well-regarded their coffee was, and so on.

The prince burst into laughter at her intense sales pitch.

As they were having a good time, just as the Ferris wheel reached the top, the clock began to chime midnight.

Leila was startled and said to the prince,

Oh no, it's midnight!
If my dress disappears, I'll be stuck working in my apron!

Saying this, she opened the Ferris wheel door and shouted at the top of her lungs.

Sparrows! Crows! Bring the shop here!!

The prince was surprised, but with a rumbling sound, the Cafe Another Sky, piloted by sparrows and crows, arrived right next to the Ferris wheel.

Leila leaped across and landed perfectly inside the shop.

From the shop entrance, she said to the prince,

To be continued at the shop!
　The rainbow ticket is valid until the end of this month, so I'll be waiting for you!

and waved her hand.

The prince waved back, clutching the rainbow ticket and laughing heartily.

After that, the prince grew very fond of both Leila and the shop, and when he went to visit a few days later, it was bustling with a huge line!!

As the prince was wandering around,

The 10 o'clock flight just departed, so the next one is at 12 o'clock.
Write your name on that list over there.

the kind villager told me.

The prince stares at the rainbow-colored ticket in his hand and gives a wry smile.

"…The rest is at the shop, huh."

Muttering that, he writes his name on the register,

(…I'll book the whole place for myself someday…)

he thinks, smiling a little.

The end.
